Balance Altered: Unyielding Fates Series Book Two (Unyielding Fates Trilogy 3) by Jenn D. Young is such an amazing story to read. This is book number three in this amazing series that I am so hooked on since the beginning. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about mystery, magic and suspense.
I read a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.
This book follows on straight from the last one, a lot was answered with Lana and her guys, also you found out more about the blood king aka Malik, very much enjoyed this book in the series, can’t wait to see what is going to happen in book three.
Balance Altered is the second book in Jenn D. Young’s Unyielding Fates Mates series. This book picks up where book one left off and continues forward at a good pace that kept me engaged from beginning to end. In some aspects I can easily say that this book is better than the first and that is always something that I truly love about a series is when the author is able to build on the first and make the second book better than the last.
Balance Altered continues with the alternating chapters of where readers get the story from multiple perspectives. The prologue with this book really captured my attention and even made me feel a certain kind of way with the individuals in power in this book. In the present moment they may feel some remorse for their refusal back then, but like we all say “hindsight is 20/20.” Malik really comes through as an engaging character with this book, and the author does an excellent job of altering the perspective of how he has been portrayed by so many.
My only real issue with this book is how the author portrays Gabe and the other men wanting classify them at one point in the book as “all ‘extremely’ different men.” For me, in this book, Gabe really doesn’t read as an angel. Ezra and Andros are the demons in this book, but it really is easy for me to forget that Gabe is an angel and not a demon as well. I know that the author wants Gabe to be “different” from the “stereotypical” angel who is “good and angelic” but Gabe dropping literally a string of curse words and one in particular multiple times in a sentence makes it hard to view him really as an angel. An angel is supposed to be more balanced and yes, lean more toward the light (otherwise why have two side of light and dark?) than to the dark. Yes, I know the characters curse when they are frustrated, but I feel that for Gabe, he goes overboard more often than not and I truly forget that he’s supposed to be an angel and that he’s not a demon.
For those who enjoy steamy…this book brings it! I loved it! I enjoyed the heated/steamy build-up so that it’s not something that just happens out of nowhere. We get multiple delicious scenes with this book and I absolutely ate it up.
I am choosing to rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I’m taking off a star because Gabe rarely reads as an angel for me. I understand wanting to make him different, but he’s too hot headed and prone to LOTS of swearing which makes him read more as a demon. Also, the author wanting to have the main character think that each of her men is “extremely” different is a reach. Two are demons, maybe different levels, but demons nonetheless; Malik is the only truly distinctive character in comparison to the rest. Reading it was hard to remember who was the demon between Ezra and Gabe half the time unless a certain scene pointed me in the right direction. This book is good, but it has some pitfalls as well. If you read the first and enjoyed it then I encourage you to pick this book up.
After reading book 2, I definitely had a better reading experience and could establish a firm connection to most of the main characters. The second book brings many revelations about the past and the future, secrets that have been kept for too long, and interesting situations full of tension, drama, and heightened emotions. There are steamy scenes too, to bring up some spice, and for lovers of RH especially the last two chapters are a hot gift. The group grows closer as the danger grows, and now after Niklaus is revealed to be still alive, there is a battle on the horizon I don’t want to miss.
Buckle up everyone because this book is about to take you to steamville!
This book was so steamy so sexy and amazing! I loved every sexy second of it! My jaw is still on the ground somewhere because this book is HOT and everyone should read this. I can’t wait for the next book! I got questions that need answers lol.
This book starts out where the last one ended, so be fore warned that you should pick up the first book. Then you move on to hot and steamy wonderous story thats a continuation that I cant get enough of! Whew!!! Its HOT!! I cant wait to find out what happens next.
Wow, this book had me captivated, I’m mind blown with how great this book is. A fantastic story with twists and turns. A well written story with interesting characters. Jenn D Young has again written a story which will capture you.
This fast paced story is the second book of the series. The characters draw you into this fantastically created world. There was lots of secrets, action and self discovery. The mates weren’t bad either. LOL I have to say this series is increasingly getting better as we learn more. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
This story with its captivating and intriguing characters and a plot full of angst, adventure, drama, action, intrigue, and steamy scences certainly kept me totally immersed and turning those pages. Very well written, I highly recommend this whole series.
What a fabulous wild ride! Loved it!
Balance Altered is crazy good. it is hot and sexy and full of rollercoaster emotions. i cant wait to read more in Restored
Book 2 kicks off where the last book ended with Atalante (aka Lana) having been kidnapped by The Blood Mage Malik. Except everything is not all it seems with him as Lana finds out through the course of this book. He has the power of seeing the future and all the different paths that can be changed if things go wrong but he can’t influence them by telling people how too. I think that makes Malik a much multi faceted character all round. Even more so when you find out his background. Some of which is sad. Back at the Academy Gabe, Ezra & Andros have their own problems with whether The Dark Elf King is still alive or not and who is helping him. So many plot twists and turns this book especially is a joyride of a book. Add to that the steam levels are epic in this book. An especially hot scenario at the end nearly melted my kindle!! I’m loving this series and I can’t wait for the next book
The first book draws you in and this one keeps you captive, Great storey well written full of great dynamics and intrigue.
Lana has to unsterstand the past to protect the present but also needs to center herself because if she isnt balanced then she has no hope of balancing the dark and light
Love this storey, well written and entertaining
So much steam a no shortage of intrigue. Book two picks up right away and we are pulled back into this storyline.
Personally I prefer a harem that frowns with how story, and I like a little inner conflict between the harem members, so this checked quite a few boxes.
I also enjoyed getting to know Malik and what makes him tick in book 2.
If you are looking for something a little different, with a ton of heat, look no further.
This is a wild ride with action, steam, adventure, drama and thrills. This picks up right where book1 left off and keeps up the fantastic pace. This has great development in both characters and storyline. Very enjoyable read and I can’t wait for the next book.
Wow. What an emotional ride that book was. There were even a few moments that caused me and my jaded little heart to tear up. I was enthralled with the world that the author created in the first book, so I knew I needed to keep reading the series. And this second book builds nicely on what had been started. I will say that this story feels like the middle of a series. There’s lots of character development and a few revelations, but not as much dramatic tension as in the previous one. However, the revelations that come to light make me very anxious to see how the next book is going to play out.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Black Cat.
Could not put down.
This book had me hooked from the beginning, especially after the ending of the last book.
I love how the secrets are starting to be revealed and how Lana and her mates are coming together.
Cannot wait to read what happens next.
love the continuation of this series … Lana, Andros, Ezra, Gabe, and Malik are definitely an interesting collection of individuals
The first book in this series was really exciting. I especially loved the mythology, the way hell worked and even more Lucifer and Lilith and how they interacted with the other characters in this story. I was therefore very excited to read the second book in this series. Luckily for me I got an ARC via a Facebook group and the moment it came in I knew it was gonna be the next book I would read. So, yesterday morning I picked it up.
However, for some reason I didn’t feel the excitement I felt during the first book while reading this second book and it’s quite hard to pinpoint why. I guess it has mostly to do with the fact that the aspects of the stories I found the most interesting were not really prominent in this second book. The entire book takes place in only two different locations and we don’t learn many new things about the world or the different species around.
The mystery of the book also seems to be on hold until the very end of the book. I’m totally fine with character bonding and I really love how we got to know Malik a lot better in this book, but I personally would have liked a little more plot in this book and a little less sex. That doesn’t mean I don’t like the dynamics between these characters. I really love Gabe, how he’s different from the other angels and how he really found a home with this bunch of people.
And of course I really love Lana, our leading lady. I have to admit that she seems to have a little too many powers. I understand that she’s special and someone the world has waited for for a very long time, but personally those heroines who are so amazing and can do everything also seem a little unrealistic. Or maybe better said, it’s impossible to imagine yourself as a person like that. It’s easier to connect with someone if they’re more human, more vulnerable and with some more flaws.
However, there is a big and final battle coming and I’m really excited to read how it ends!
This is book 2 of the trilogy and you need to have read book 1 first. I would suggest reading the prequel too.
I enjoyed this book as it continued Lana’s story. It was written well and had some great scenes with her mates.
Lana has been reunited with her mates and has bonded to Gabe, Ezra and Andros. Together they are ready to regain the balance that has begun to change.
This book delves into the bonds and more about Lana’s powers as she tries to gain control of them.
